Speaking during the monthly policy session at the House of Representatives, El Otmani stressed that "the bet to be won in the coming period is to revive the national economy and resume economic, commercial and service activity, thanks to the combined efforts of all stakeholders".
Noting that since the early stages of confinement the government has ensured the adoption of appropriate measures to overcome the constraints facing the national economy, the head of government said that short-term measures to promote economic recovery in the coming period are being implemented, some of which fall within the framework of the decisions taken by the Economic Monitoring Committee, including the adoption of an amending budget bill.
In the medium term, the recovery plan drawn up in coordination with the various stakeholders will contribute to the effort to boost the economic momentum, added El Otmani, stressing that a medium-term economic take-off plan will be put in place at a later date, which goes hand in hand with the large-scale project to renew the development model in order to review the order of priorities on the socio-economic level.
He also recalled the adoption of measures to reduce the financial burden on companies and to provide financial support for them, given the fact that 24,000 businesses have benefited from the new mechanism "Oxygen Guarantee" for an overall amount of 12 billion dirhams.
